I also try to reheat food that I cooked the night before so usually it should take me about 10 minutes to heat the food and dish it out. Sometimes it can be a bit lengthy because I might be fishing certain vegetables out of some plate and adding it to another plate based on what the kids like. I.e if one kid doesn't like corn then I try to make the plate as corn free as possible for that child so they don't immediately refuse to eat.

The clean up is probably about 10-15 minutes and it is usually a disaster. the table is usually full of rice or food and same with the boosters and floor. I try to do a good cleaning of the table, throw the scraps etc but I usually leave the floor for a good vacuum and mop at night depending on how bad it is. I pick up only LARGE items during lunch cleanup.

I have plastic bowls for all the kids and I have enough to get me through snacks and lunch. Everything goes through the dishwasher on the sanitize setting so I usually just have to give the plates a quick rinse and put them in the dishwasher and forget it.

I usually do not clean up lunch until I have the kids in bed - therefore it does tend to cut into my 'breathing' time.
